UPDATE: Per the Palm Beach Post, Lewandowksi turned himself in earlier on Tuesday morning. He's being charged with misdemeanor battery.
Jupiter police later said they were looking into the incident after Fields filed a report, although investigators had not named Lewandowski.
Lewandowski turned himself in to Jupiter police just after 8 a.m., accoriding[sic] to a police report.
Surveillance footage captured at Trump National, off Donald Ross Road, corroborates Feilds’[sic] claim, the arrest report says.
A statement from the Trump Campaign asserts that Lewandowski is "absolutely innocent" of the charges.

Surveillance footage released by the Jupiter Police Dept. clearly contradicts Lewandowski's claim that he never touched Fields.
UPDATE II: The lawyer representing Lewandowski has a...shall we say interesting past with women.

Fields, along with a host of colleagues, resigned from Breitbart days after the alleged assault took place. Trump defended Lewandowski and accused Fields of fabricating the whole thing.
